Yes remove the carriage cover, if you look to the left at the back you can see the vertical encoder strip, its only a couple of screws to get it out, take off the sensor first then the strip. use a magnetic philips screwdriver as you dont want to drop it in as it will be tricky to retrieve if it...
I sorted it! i took off the cover and there is a vertical encoder strip to the left at the back. Took it out, took the linear scale off the brackets, cleaned it with IPA and reassembled. Works a treat now!
i printed it on some scrap digital media and it doesnt streak!. So what does that mean? Static issues from foamex and composite? although i suspect digital media has static in it aswell? Or could it be some other underlying issue?

Hi there, many thanks for your reply. I have attached an image showing the clarity of print everywhere on the panel except the bottom where you can see the streaking. This happens at the other end of the panel too. the encoder strip looks ok but will give it a clean, i figured if it was that it...
Correction on that, its doing it on other colours aswell. It looks like a streak that is caused by something hanging down off the head, but its totally clean and free of anything!
Can anyone help please. My flatbed is suffering streaks on a particular colour. Everything else is fine apart from a lime green which is streaking both ends of the panel from start to finish, but prints great between that. I've done everything possible to try and cure it from cleaning to...
